Roo and Dingo here! The name Roo is short for "kangaroo", which of course is an Australian marsupial. Since dingo is also a type of wild dog that lives in the outback, you could say that we're a couple of Australian birds who're named after Australian mammals. Fun, huh? Actually, both of us were born here in the states, although our species is native to the land down under. Roo is four years old -- she's the demure white-faced sitting on your right -- and Dingo the grey male is six years old. We came to Mickaboo from southern California -- near Hollywood! -- after our previous human companions realized that they couldn't give us the star treatment that we need as cockatiels. We've been best friends since Roo was quite young, so Mickaboo is going to let us stay together forever! Our foster mom describes us as sweet, gentle, and a little shy. We like to be around people but we feel safest in our cage, and will make friendly little chirps if you talk to us when we're in there! We love each other very much and spend much time preening together. We will step onto a finger to visit with you when we are in the mood for a little human companionship. Roo sometimes has night frights, but has been doing very well for the last 6 months with no problems! Dingo has one foot that's weaker than the other so he might need a few flat perches or shelves to give him a safe place to roost. Overall, we're both happy, healthy and friendly. We're on a great diet and we even like to take showers (though we won't admit it at the time, we really appreciate a chance to take a shower!). We can't wait to find a forever home where we can add a human family to our circle of friends. Notice: Cockatiels are flock animals, and most of them are much happier when they live with at least one other cockatiel! Because of this, unless a household currently includes another cockatiel, Mickaboo usually requires that a minimum of two cockatiels be adopted. Print this page |
